CountMeOut.ie is an award winning[1] Irish website dedicated to helping Irish Catholics get information on how to defect from the Roman Catholic Church. It was started by friends Cormac Flynn, Paul Dunbar and Gráinne O'Sullivan, after researching the process of how to leave the Roman Catholic Church. They discovered that reforms by Pope John Paul II in the second Vatican council formalised the process of leaving. An official declaration of defection document has been produced by the Vatican since 2006 because of the 1% tax in Germany levied by the German Government for the benefit of Churches. The website creates a PDF of this form through a three step process, allowing users to print and send the documentation to the diocese where they were baptised. It has gained wide media coverage, particularly as the Ryan Report on Catholic Church abuse in Irish Industrial schools has come to light[2][3][4][5][6].
